Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risks
In the ordinary course of business, the financial position of the Company is routinely subject to certain market risks, notably the effects of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. As a result, the Company does not anticipate any material losses from these risks. We do not use derivatives for trading purposes, to generate income or to engage in speculative activity.
Interest Rate Risk
As of June 30, 2022, $1,560.8 million, or 41%, of the Company’s total outstanding debt balance of $3,793.0 million is based on floating interest rates. Our $1,560.8 million in variable rate debt at June 30, 2022 consists of our revolving credit facility, which, depending on the currency of the loan, bears interest at LIBOR, CDOR, EURIBOR, TIBOR and STIBOR plus 1.015% per annum (subject to step-ups to 1.175% and step-downs to 0.805% based on ratings) or SONIA plus 1.0476% per annum (subject to step-ups to 1.2076% and step-downs to 0.8376% based on ratings), plus an additional annual facility fee equal to 11.0 basis points on the entire facility (subject to step-ups to 20.0 basis points and step-downs to 7.0 basis points based on ratings), and the outstanding portion of our Fiscal 2021 Term Loans which bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.875% per annum (subject to step-ups to LIBOR plus 1.250% or a step-down to LIBOR plus 0.750% based on ratings). We have assessed our exposure to changes in interest rates by analyzing the sensitivity to our earnings of a change in market interest rates on amounts borrowed from the revolving credit facility and Fiscal 2021 Term Loans during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Assuming a hypothetical increase of one hundred basis points in interest rates on our variable rate debt during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, our pre-tax earnings would have decreased by approximately $19.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022; however, this would have been offset by interest earned on cash balances. Assuming a hypothetical increase of one hundred basis points in interest rates on our variable rate debt during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, our pre-tax earnings would have decreased by approximately $8.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021; however, this would have been offset by interest earned on cash balances.
Foreign Currency Risk
While the substantial majority of our business is conducted within the U.S., approximately 15% of our fiscal year 2022 revenues were earned outside of the U.S. Our operations outside of the U.S. primarily reside in Canada, Europe and India. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency risk from changes in the value of underlying assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. dollar-denominated foreign investments and foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the Canadian dollar, the British pound, the Euro, the Indian Rupee and the Swedish Krona.
We manage our foreign currency risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate. In addition, we executed a series of cross-currency swap derivative contracts with an aggregate notional amount of EUR 880 million which are designated as net investment hedges to hedge a portion of our net investment in our subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Euro. At June 30, 2022, the fair value of these derivatives is an asset of $101.4 million. Refer to Note 18, “Contractual Commitments, Contingencies, and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional details on our cross-currency swap derivative contracts.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, a hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar, the British pound, the Euro, the Indian Rupee and the Swedish Krona versus the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a decrease in our total pre-tax earnings of approximately $12.8 million and $19.3 million, respectively.
